Justin Bieber enters the metaverse on Thursday with a free, virtual concert on the platform Wave. Ahead of the show, Wave teased the massive world they created to host the musical affair.

The official trailer shows Justin’s virtual avatar interacting with concertgoers through a series of colorful backgrounds, including a tranquil green backdrop of rolling green hills, the ocean illuminated by the setting sun, as well as Justin performing on the hood of a car parked in a city intersection.

It appears Justin can interact with his surroundings as he performs, with the trailer showing his avatar — which he will control using real-time motion-capture technology — creating splashes of light and fireworks as he sings.

Wave says fans will also be able to interact with and influence the concert’s performances and environments.

The “Peaches” singer will perform songs off his new album, Justice, which will serve as the perfect teaser for his upcoming world tour.

You can sign up on Wave.watch and experience the event for free on November 18 starting at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET. It will be rebroadcast on both the Wave platform and on YouTube on November 20 and 21 for fans worldwide in their respective time zones.

Brett Young’s hoping a Major League Baseball team will soon call Nashville home

November 17, 2021 by WDNY Radio

Baseball has always been a big part of Brett Young’s life. As a teen, he even thought he’d pursue the sport professionally, and he was drafted to play on the Minnesota Twins after high school. But he chose to go to Ole Miss instead, where he played baseball for a year before getting sidelined by an elbow injury.

And while the singer’s very happy in his country music career, he’s found a way to incorporate his passion for baseball into his life, too. On Wednesday, he joined Music City Baseball’s Music Advisory Board, People reports. That means that Brett will have a hand in lobbying for a Major League team to officially make its home in Nashville.

“I would absolutely love bringing a team to Nashville that I could get behind and support and be a part of,” he explains. “I think it would be great for the city, and selfishly, it would be amazing for me to have a team here in town.”

Even though he’s not a professional ball player anymore, Brett says he learned a valuable skill set during his time on the field.

“As an adult, I realize that the most important thing that ever happened to me as a result of baseball was the work ethic that I learned,” he reflects. “It’s something that carried over to my music career and has served me very well, and I’ll always be grateful to baseball for that.”

In his new position on Music City Baseball’s Music Advisory Board, Brett’s in superstar company: Darius Rucker, Justin Timberlake and Luke Combs are also board members.

Person in St. Vincent “camp” tests positive for COVID-19

November 17, 2021 by WDNY Radio

A person in St. Vincent‘s “camp” has tested positive for COVID-19.

In a statement posted Wednesday, the “Los Ageless” rocker writes, “Despite vigilant and strict adherence to COVID protocols including vaccinations and indoor masking requirements, a member of the St. Vincent camp has tested positive.”

As a result, St. Vincent is pulling out of the ironically named Corona Capital festival, set to take place this weekend in Mexico City.

“As disappointing and difficult as this decision has been, the safety of all those playing an attending the festival comes first,” the statement reads.

Corona Capital, which also includes Tame Impala, Royal Blood and Twenty One Pilots on the bill, was St. Vincent’s last live date scheduled for 2021. She’ll return to the live stage in February to play Arizona’s Innings Festival.

Foo Fighters tease “Love Dies Young” video, starring Jason Sudeikis

November 17, 2021 by WDNY Radio

The next Foo Fighters video apparently stars Ted Lasso’s evil twin.

The clip, which will accompany the Medicine at Midnight closer “Love Dies Young,” stars Jason Sudeikis as the coach of a synchronized swimming team. Instead of the warmhearted, folksy Midwesterner he plays on Ted Lasso, Sudeikis here portarys a gruff, mean coach with an accent of indeterminate origin whose harsh methods would make even Led Tasso blush.

You can watch a preview of the “Love Dies Young” video now via the Foo Fighters Twitter. The full thing is set to premiere on YouTube this Thursday, November 18, at 10 a.m. ET.

By the way, Sudeikis starring in a Foo Fighters video isn’t the first crossover between the two. The actor previously told Mark Hoppus‘ After School Radio Apple Music Hits program that the Foo song “My Hero” helped inspire the themes of Ted Lasso’s second season.

TOMORROW.
The most important competition of your lives.
